Ethnography Results, Week 4

This week we decided to all go as a group and observe the CS movie-theater. We went on a Friday at about 1:45p.m. and this time we actually went to watch a movie at 2:20p.m. We watched the comedy Hall Pass. The observations for this week changed from the past week since we decided to go on an early Friday. We sat down at one of the tables in the theater lobby and observed people walking in for approximately 30 minutes before our movie started. The majority of the people that walked in were in pairs. We observed older couples, young couples, male and females in groups of two or three. We also saw a older woman with her granddaughters we would like to assume. There was a big group of about 12 people, and it was interesting because they were all minorities. From what we concluded this group had hispanics, asians, and africans. Most of the people walked right into the theater without purchasing anything. In the case of the people that did stop to buy food, we noticed that almost everyone bought popcorn and soft drinks. It is very interesting because there are two places where you can get your food from, there is a small coffee shop and the regular concession stand. We did not notice anyone go to the coffee shop to buy anything, and observing the menu they sell pizzas, pretzels, ice cream, coffe, and other drinks. A funny fact was that almost all of the people that we observed went to watch the same movie we did.
